Special occasion dining in Brighton

“Three of us had lunch here last Thursday. This is a local Italian restaurant that is far superior to most Italian restaurants. The food was cooked in front of us with fresh ingredients. It was far nicer than most Italian restaurants and excellent value for money. The staff were very friendly and the service was very good. We will definitely return and highly recommend it.”

“Fantastic restaurant with amazing food and service. Enjoyed a really good meal here, can thoroughly recommend”

“What a decent Thai food! Their food was amazing. Tasty, high quality, big portion and welcoming staffs. I would definitely visit again with my friends. *spring roll is worth a try!”

“We visited this restaurant for a meal as part of a hen do, and it was absolutely perfect! I had the vegan moussaka, which was amazing—one of the best I've ever had. Everyone in our group loved their food too; everything was delicious. The decor is so cute and really made us feel like we were on holiday. The staff were incredibly lovely and made our evening even more special. Highly recommend!”

“Hands down the best Bulgarian meal I’ve had outside of Bulgaria. Went to Donchevi Kitchen & Bar today with my other half for lunch. As I’m from Bulgaria, I always wanted to share my cuisine but previous attempt have not been successful due to lack of quality original Bulgarian ingredients or chef abilities. This restaurant on the other hand tasted like home. We had kufteta, shopska salad, mousakka, parlenka and chips with Bulgarian cheese. Everything was not only authentic but also delicious. I loved it so much I had to ask for takeaway bag to take some home. I definitely recommend the restaurant to both Bulgarians and to everyone keen to try something different which they will enjoy. My partner is a bit picky with their food as they are British and tend to go with Italian food or British but they loved it too.”

“We ordered a takeaway from here last night and I think it might be the best Indian takeaway I've ever had! Lamb Rara Gosht was incredible, as was the Chicken 65! Very lovely service too and it was super quick for us to collect.”

“Wow, what an incredible experience the 16 course dinner was. The thought, preparation, skill and imagination that went into the whole experience was exceptional. From the chefs serving the dishes and sharing how they came about to the incredible tastes and flavour combinations. The teamwork, personality and passion came across in spades from the whole team. Jean is a genius, we were blown away by-the whole experience and I have never tasted such exceptional food. The price is not cheap, as you would expect, but it was worth every penny. The dishes for my vegetarian gluten free wife were incredible and not the usual afterthought that the majority of restaurants serve. Thank you for the best meal we have ever tasted. One Michelin star is not enough”

“Super yummy food - have been eating from here for years and I’m happy to come back and enjoy again! Shame they don’t deliver :c”

“It doesn't look very promising from the outside but I was persuaded by the good reviews to give this place a try. Excellent fish and chips - I ordered huss, which was meaty and full of flavour, as it should be. Huge portion of crispy chips. I saw a sushi order being collected and that looked excellent too. A great local, family run place which I plan to return to. One warning - they don't take cards, so you either have to pay cash or arrange a bank transfer which is a bit of a hassle. .”

“The kebabs are absolutely delicious, very cheap compared to Kebab shops and their Turkish kebabs with rice underneath if you’ve been to Turkey, you know what I’m talking aboutand the guys who work there are very friendly and polite Highly recommend”

“A very smart, modern establishment with good counter service and very nice food, I had smoked salmon with dill on a focaccia which was delicious along with a date and chocolate cake, also delicious. The place was dog friendly inside and quiet which was good for my old girl, outside seating also available. A lot of thought had been put into the lighting and mood of the restaurant though I didn't quite understand the art, there is obviously a meaning but it was lost on me, not the restaurants fault, definitely mine. A bit pricey but often cost comes from quality and quality was evident in all aspects of this quirky eatery.”

“Really good! We had a lovely meal here. We were a party of five, all vegetarian. There was a big selection of vegetarian food, lots of tofu dishes, loads of vegetable dishes and rice and noodley things. They have nice soups too. The food comes out lightening fast and is super fresh and hot. You can order as much and as often as you like. Just make sure you eat it all. Recommended.”

“We love this place. Have been back loads. Super friendly staff, authentic Italian food. Great pizza.. cant fault it.”

“We went here for lunch after having seen some good reviews. It has a nice and light pub atmosphere, the service was very friendly and the food was excellent. Everything was great but the scallop special and the spicy king prawns were particularly good. Would definitely recommend.”

“Went for Octoberbest, blown away by the food and the service! Great with gluten free options and the food was some of the most exciting I’ve ever had - really punchy fish and chip flavours, lush aubergine and very impressive tofu”

“I took my partner to The Flint House for her birthday and we had an amazing evening. The atmosphere was lovely, the food was incredible, and the service was exceptional. Alicia looked after us throughout the night and was brilliant — really friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the wine list. Her recommendations were spot on and helped make the evening feel even more special. Highly recommend The Flint House for any occasion. We’ll definitely be returning!”

“Called in on a whim on a rainy Monday night. Ordered my usual affair: onion bhajis, chicken tikka jalfrezi, pilau rice, peshwari nann. Really great flavours in everything and a nice kick of spice as expected. Generous portions, bring your own beer and good value for money. Service was pleasant when needed but left me to get on with it! A proper curry for those times when the posh one's at company events don't quite hit the spot. I'll definitely be returning when back in Brighton.”

“We had a Sunday roast and on another night had the awesome bangers and mash and were not disappointed with either. Omg so much food and all delish and lots of choices. Guinness gravy was excellent btw! Staff were brilliant too. Would highly recommend.”

“We came here for a pre-theatre dinner on a Friday night. It was 5.30pm so quiet when we came in, but it quickly filled up so possibly a good idea to book. The service was superb and the food came extremely quickly and was delicious. The vegetables were all fresh and tasty and everything was cooked to perfection. As we still had plenty of time we ordered dessert, which was also delicious. I love Thai food and this was amongst the best I have had. I would thoroughly recommend it.”

“Amazing food and service. Was recommended to us and we will come again.”

“Can’t thank the team enough for making our wedding day so special, you went above and beyond. Fabulous food, we had meze platters which were the perfect snack. The gardens are beautiful and thank you for letting us have a few photos there! The Swans x”

“First impressions count, and the first impressions of Relish are outstanding. The food was devine, the service was second to none and the atmosphere is warm, friendly and professional. This is welcomed new addition to Uckfield and I highly recommend it. Thank you.”

“This charming Korean restaurant, run by a native Korean, is the perfect spot to enjoy authentic Korean cuisine. As the only Korean eatery in the Hastings area, it’s a firm favourite among Koreans and highly recommended for locals who fancy a proper taste of genuine Korean fare.”

“Everything absolutely mouth-watering! The portions are huge, and the flavours are amazing . Do not skip dessert , they're so good !”

“The best pho I’ve had in a while and I’ve tried a few to say the least , been to many food festivals . Diff restaurants this the best by far also lovely cocktail many thanks guys ❤️”

“Baos were delicious! We had the pork belly one and it was succulent and soft. The bun was lovely and fluffy. The baby bao fries were only okay. They were a bit greasy. The spicy chicken was also only okay as it was mostly batter. But it was super crispy. We went for lunch on Thursday and it was not full but the music was a bit loud. This is expected because it is a pub. Super friendly service! I will definitely go back for the baos!”

“Been here serval times but never for a roast. Pork belly was faultless. Staff are great, and pub is timeless. We will carry on returning forever more. Thank you, Jed & Millie”

“Such a great place with so many good vegan options! Nice owners, great and fast service. The starters came fast and hot! The mains are so tasty! The tofu is super fluffy and soaks in all the sauce and flavours. Beers for 4£ are a steal! We finished with the coconut sticky rice with mango. Can’t recommend this place enough. Would come back any time ♥️”

“Lovely evening. We had the steak and lamb chops... both were lush.”
